I stand out in a crowd

Men Are Better Than Women at Ferreting Out That Angry Face in a Crowd

Trying to get someone's attention? Looking angry may be the key. The face most likely to stand out in a crowd is an irate one, according to a new study, and men are better than women at picking up the anger that a face conveys.

On the other hand, women are more adept at detecting more socially relevant expressions that communicate happiness, sadness, surprise and disgust.


What's interesting to me is that anger is not a socially relevant emotion. Could have fooled me. Jerk.
